Why oh why
Life is unfair. That's why I shouldn't be very surprised when I find my absolute dream house before actually being able to buy it.
Because life is unfair I should also know better than to go to open houses before actually being ready to buy. Because naturally I would fall absolutely in love with one of them and know that it's still out of reach. Those bastards!
Had a meeting with our bank last week and the only thing missing is a permanent fulltime job for me where they actually pay me more than a slave wage before we can get a mortgage. When the lady heard what my current job pays by the hour, she was offended on my behalf. I almost felt ashamed, because I have never asked for a raise because I just didn't want to get into that with my boss, and because I valued my excellent colleagues more than a great salary when it didn't matter what I made by the hour as long as I got what I was supposed to according to the laws. And it is.
Now, however, I won't be getting the monthly student loans money because, duh, I'm practically done studying (just have to finish that one last paper).
So... On the hunt for a new job now. It's dreadful. I hate writing applications and never hearing anything. And my bachelor degree is very fuzzy and not very practical for most employers. Very very handy however if you dream of writing the next great novel (hello, that's sooo me, right?).
On another note, Love gave my little sister the link to this blog, so now she's spying on me. No more bad mouthing that little twirp, or telling big bad secrets. *sigh* I know you're there, sis, I can see your IP adress. :P
Oh poop. I want that house. It's so frustrating, because it's absolutely perfect for us. No, it's not a frikkin castle. I know I have a history of drooling over those things, but this is a regular, very well kept little two-storey house. Oh well. If it's meant to be it won't be sold by the time I get a job (that's like SO likely here in our area, houses are snapped up in an instant). Or, there'll be an even prettier little house for us when the time comes. We'll see. I'll let you know any way.
